Name: Partners: Constant Acceleration Challenge - Falling Meterstick You are given only a meterstick. Get together with a partner (one is the "tester" and the other is the "subject"). The tester holds the meterstick so that zero is at the bottom. The subject places their hand so that their index finger is next to zero on the meterstick but is not touching the meterstick. The tester then releases the meterstick when they think the subject is not ready and the subject grabs the meterstick before it strikes the floor. Write the number of meters that the meterstick falls while the subject reacts: m Determine the subject's reaction time by calculation. Then fill in the graphs below showing the position of the meterstick next to the subject's finger as a function of time, the meterstick's velocity as a function of time while falling, and the meterstick's acceleration while falling. All graphs should end at the instant the meterstick was caught. 1.0 0.7 Acceleration (m's ) Velocity im s Portion 0.4 0.3 0.2 0. 1 TO 90 L'O A S'O Time (sect Time (see) Time (see) Write a narrative explaining how you created the graphs above
